Milkpo too stronk

 

[Drkirby]

I was always under the impression trying to defend the T2s from a team that is steam rolling is basically a death trap, and that you should likely just conseed them and defend at the T3s.

The side T2's are awful spots to fight at because the defending team is lowground, unless we have way better farm/teamfight or the opposing team isn't pushing with all 5 I'd much rather either defend at T1 or T3. Mid T2 isn't that bad but defending at T3 gives you a way bigger advantage.

Even if you are wearing jeans at least try to look smart on camera

Nice, guide, especially the start about dragon slave positioning and "baiting" a creep to land a skill shot.

I don't care how they wear their shit personally.

'Ruined' is too strong a word.

I'd say neutralised some parts of the game that required skill.

i'd probably say the exact opposite :/

6.84 does a pretty damn good job of rewarding the team that plays the best with a win--aka the team that wins the lanes, establishes map control, and takes down objectives (towers/rosh). the whole theme of the patch was pretty much "counter-play"--from items to hero buffs to gameplay changes. Draft and team composition is also much more important than in 6.83 (which leads to more stomps, but hey, I'll take that trade 100% of the time). Dota is a game of counters, there's always an answer to everything (strat, hero, item, everything has counters).

"as long as you hold and have other players farming"? Never happens. When 5 people dive your tower, and only 2 teammates defend, the output is: 2 deaths and 1 tower fallen.

Welp, I think I found your problem. This is akin to saying, when 5 enemies engage in a teamfight against 2 of us, the output is: 2 of us dead and our towers left vulnerable. well duh...

I've found deathball to be plenty punishable.

Of course if no one TP's and you never manage do defend your towers with one hero less you'll get overrun. But that happened last patch too.

That's my point. In pubs, getting one teammate to tp to help defend a tower is already a huge feat. So if you manage to get people to 5-man push in pubs, you have great success.

I am fine with this though. People who start 5-man pushing first are usually the same people who win their lanes.

I was just looking out for him! The mods in the channel backed me up

 

[evlcookie]

Damn train, move faster I need to get to work to watch this.

Mid rax taken with no casualties? Crazy.

 

[Technosteve]

crumbling

 

[Acinixys]

Its actually smart

Their team is using his maxed aura to steamroll towers

You need Frost to kite and team fight

But they are avoiding fights and only pushing

Plus all those stats are making him tanky

 

[SilentRacoon]

Who says long games are not a thing anymore https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1463876680

Honestly that game lasted more than it should thanks to a key fight where Void lived by backtracking QOP ulti, gave them a lot of time to prepare for high ground defense, such a bs hero.

Yeah LD that was totally a good supernova kappa

Rat Dota games are the most beautiful games

DEATHBALL

That was some pretty tactical Doto.

That game was great from a tactical point of view.

Anyone's stream skipping a little bit here and there?

 

[Hylian7]

I don't want to sit here and blame teammates.

But as a PSA, please don't go "carry Io" in pubs. It does not win games.

I'm aware of that. My teammate is not EE or any pro player.

 

[Acinixys]

Someone at Redbull is browsing GAF

Merlini tucked his shirt in

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

To be fair, that's a random player on the Wisp, not EE.

 

[1.09]
